Generate an upload URL

Request

Generates a URL that can be used to upload a file based on the upload configuration provided. For security reasons, the URL is only valid for a limited time. When uploading a file, you must provide the configuration and action to be performed with the upload.

When you upload a file, it can:
- Create a new asset.
- Create a new version of an existing asset.
- Be an alternate file for an existing asset.

Uploads require an upload configuration that defines supported file extensions, the content repository to which the file is to be uploaded, and so on. Security checks validate that the user has permission to perform uploads. The upload URL is returned in the response location header.
